This is one of my favorites of theirs. I think it proved Joe Walsh was no fluke for 'em, totally invigorating them yet letting them be, too.

Professional and slick.

"By 1979 the Eagles had nearly imploded amidst animosity and professional jealousies, and it is amazing that they were able to record such an incredibly professional and accomplished LP as 'The Long Run' during this time in their careers. In some ways it is their 'Abbey Road': the musicianship and production are impeccable, the personal differences not at all visible. Maybe not the greatest Eagles album, but certainly one that deserves respect."
